Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named submitted a 2018 Transfer of Entitlements application to my Department seeking the transfer of Basic Payment Scheme entitlements by way of gift as transferee. The transferor under the application used a temporary transfer number made available by my Department to facilitate the transfer. The Department is currently finalising the transfer application to facilitate payment under the Basic Payment Scheme as soon as possible.
